Why us

We get the hard rules right

Most xiangqi apps get the easy rules right and the hard ones wrong — the repetition laws that decide real games.

Across the entire JS, TS, Rust and Python ecosystem, no library correctly adjudicates perpetual chase. We built it to the WXF standard, verified against the official 110-diagram casebook.
